Have any of the patches fixed the ranking formulas or are we still getting 8-5 Oklahoma teams as 5 seeds in the CFP?

I just got fricked so hard in my dynasty game. Playing as VA Tech on the road at Miami. My RB fumbled 2 times and my QB once even though I was covering the ball. I also had 2 TDs called back for holding. Despite all that I come back from down 20 to get the ball back with 55 seconds left down 3. On 3rd and 1 my LG gets blown up and I lose 3. No timeouts I quickly pick a play to try on 4th down. I throw an out route right at the 1st down line. The DB tackles him as soon as he catches it but they say he didn’t get the first.

I’ve never been so mad at a video game

I had the CPU make a "catch" for a TD falling out of bounds. I challenged.

The replay showed the ball laying on the ground a foot from the receiver.

TD stood

I haven’t lost since including beating Clemson 48-10. They shouldn’t have pissed me off

Yeah, none of this would ever happen in real life.

Had the computer fumble late in the 4th quarter a few days ago after not seeing a fumble in almost 10 games. I ended up winning by a field goal because of it. Probably scripted too.

Thank God. The first full season I saw simmed had what I described happen and I immediately lost a ton of interest. If the actual sim sucks, it ruins the game for me despite whatever the gameplay is like. Glad they were so quick to get on that.

Not sure if they tried to nerf the speed option or what, but it’s completely broken right now. I don’t mean that in the dramatic way people like to use that term, I legit mean 8/10 times the QB goes to pitch it and it yo-yos around like the QB’s arm is 10 ft long. Sometimes he fumbles and sometimes they call it an incomplete pass. The only way I get it to work is pitching way early or not pitching at all.

I run that play fairly often and have never seen this

Weird... wonder if it's specific to my dynasty or my custom playbook. I used this playbook in a different dynasty and it hasn't happened.

I just tried it again and got the pitch off and the refs blew it dead the moment my RB caught the pitch (for a 3 yard loss). Seems like something is off with the coding for the QB. It looked like they blew it dead when the QB hit the ground although the ball was already in the air to the RB. That is the only play that seems "broken" for me.

I don't run it often but I've had that happen too. And a couple of times the qb was hit while pitching, and the ball goes in a crazy circle around and then disappears under the field and they blow the play dead there.

Yeah must be something to do with your custom playback. I ran many times with Washington last night and didn't have any issues.

If I don’t pitch it super early the qb throws is backwards in the air like he’s Jameis Winston.

Anyone know how the coaching carousel works? Just had a Heisman winner and won the natty my 2nd year at South Carolina but still get shitty job offers?

Does it go by coaching level?

No clue. I've just accepted that it's broken AF right now, and don't even look at my offers at this point. I took Southern Miss to 3 playoffs in a now and didn't have a single head coaching offer afterward.

I know that a job offer is only good for one week, got an offer for Ole Miss and Texas and thought I had some time to decide but nope!

I wonder if it's detailed enough that what arm/hand the QB uses affects the toss because my QB is right handed and it seems all the bad pitches come when I run it left.

No clue. I've never been able to get an offer of any kind from my alma mater despite crushing it both on field and in recruiting at any other school.

I even started doing force losses to my AM in hopes they'd fire their coach and come for me.
